I wirken with may parents during my 20s, spending the week living at their house (from where the business was run) and commuting back to my wife for the weekends - it was a very odd time for all concerned, but not without its advantages (especially for my wife who having married late, found it a good way to transit into married life)

I can't help but think the middle classes will slowly morph into the old sitcom Bread.
Forever struggling to pay off mortgages, helping support kids so no option to downsize or move, everyone will just need to chip in to a family pot.
It could be argued many families have always had to do this (and indeed it's culturally common in families of Indian descent) but I can see it being much wider spread.

Yes, that's a good point about different communities' mores about extended families sharing houses.... but it *does* seem to be becoming a more general trend
